India completed tests of an anti-tank missile for 135 one thousand dollars
Indian sources report the completion of tests of the anti-tank guided missile Nag Helina. The peculiarity of this ATGM is, that it can be used from an aircraft carrier - first of all, we are talking about attack helicopters.

The Nag Helina ATGM was repeatedly tested from the Indian Air Force attack helicopter.. The success of the tests was confirmed by the director of the project to create such a rocket, Sachin Sud. (Sachin Sood). He represents the Defense Research and Development Laboratory in Hyderabad, included in DRDO.

In India, the emphasis is on, that the anti-tank guided missile "Nag Helina" – completely indian design.

Sachin Sud:

ATGM and carrier are fully prepared. They have passed the full range of tests. Now we need to implement the human-machine interface program, allowing even more effective use of this weapon.
At the initial stage, it is planned to purchase for the armed forces of India 500 such missiles and 40 launchers. All these launchers are planned to be placed on helicopters..

reported, that one such missile will cost India's budget about 10 crore (the rupee at the current moment at its exchange rate is approximately equal to the ruble).

Experts point out that, what 135 thousand dollars for such ammunition - a very impressive amount. However, the manufacturer claims, that the effectiveness of hitting a target with such a missile is high - the probability of hitting a target in the form of a "tank" from a height of about 1 km and from a distance to 3,5 km is 90%. is approved, that such indicators were identified during 3 stages of testing. And that's why the price is justified.. Moreover, with the expansion of production, it (price) will decline.

The Nag Helina ATGM itself can be used at a distance from 500 m to 7 km. Previously, when testing in India, there were problems with the accuracy of hitting a target at minimum distances.. Now, according to the lab, where the development was carried out, these problems are solved.

developer:

If with a 90% probability a rocket is behind 10 million rupees can destroy an enemy tank, which stands in 40-50 times more expensive, then even the economic feasibility of the project is obvious.
The main carrier of such ATGMs should be the LCH, a light helicopter of the Indian Air Force., which the, as noted by Sachin Sood, "Coming soon".
